tines. The many operations through
which toy books and valentines pass be-

Here is little story I heard 'tother
night at dinner: \ gentleman who was
going off to Russia on business desired
his wife to place her picture in his trunk.

asked:
"Did you look at my picture while you

THAT is unkindn
Whereupon the wife opened the case
and showed him that she had taken the
picture out before she had placed the

Rotterdam's Canals. ships and Houses.

The whole Of the city is intersected
by canals, bToid, long, and deep, and
capable of accommodating vessels Of
heavy tonnage These canals divide the
city into SO many islands, united By
draw bridges, swivel bridges, turning
bridges, and few stone bridges. 1t is
curious TO walk through Rotterdam aud
find everywhere these canals, with
streets on either side, and trees along the
side of almost every street, and more
curious still TO find that you can never
get away from the shipping. In the
very heart of the city large ships aye dis
charging their cargoes; the masts of the
ships are seen among the houses, above
the trees, beside the churches, and all
along the centre of the main thorough
fares. Many OF these ships are built ex-
pressly for the Rhine and Holland; they
are sinsle-mas.ed, broad, stout, and all
highly colofed and ornamented. The
prevailing style is bright green for The
hull, with red or whItazslrines, gided-
poops, vanished or highly polislf-a decksS
and masts, while buckets, hatchets,
barrels. and other things, arc usually
painted bright red, with white or green
stripes. The cabins are models of clean
illness and comfort, with brightly polished
windows, snow-white muslin curtains
and pots of flowers Beside the novelty
of finding "a feet imprisoned in the
heart of the city, there are many things
to attract the attention in the streets of
Rotterdam. The houses have pointed
facadcs; are of all shades of brick, from
the darkest of red to the pinkest of pink;
whitewashed stone or wood ornaments
the facade, the windows and doors arc
bordcred with broad white stripes. the
window-sils are generally full of flowers;
the windows are provided with little
mirrors, by means of which the inmates
can see all that tskes place up or down
the street without being themselves seen;
brass plates and brass knobs in a high
state Of polish adurn the doors. by the
side OF which bird-cages frequently hang
It i curious fact that nearly all the
houses are a little out of the upright,
and lean more or less, while sometimes
in a street all the houses will lean slightly
in one direction.

How to Live a Century.

Professor Humphry, of Cambridge,
has prepared q series of tables which con-
tain some interesting information about
centenarians. OF 50 persons whom he
N ntions, at least liz males and fe-
males actually attained the age of 100.
Others attained very nearly to the hun
dred years. Only one of the persons
reached los years, while one died at the
alleged age Of 10j. OF the 50 pessons,
SO were women and IL men. Prof.
Humphry tells US that the comparative
immunity of women from the exposures
and risks to which men are subjected.
and the greater temperance in eating and
drinking exhibited by women arc the
chief points in determining their higher
chances of longevity. Out of the 20
women 20 had been married, and II had
borne large families OF the % women
who had been wives had married before
they were 90, at 16, and at II. Twelve
of the 80 centenarians were discovered to
have been the eldest children of their
parents. This fact, adds Mr. Humphrey,
does not agree with popular notions that
the first children inherit a feebleness Of
nor with the opinion of rae
ing stables. which is decidedly against
the idea that ''frstlings" are to be de-
pended on for good performance on the
course. The centenarians generally re-
carded were of spare build. GOut and
were, as rule, absent. at
seems, says Prof. Humphry, s'that the
frame which is destined to great age
needs no such prophylactics, and engen-
ders none of the peccant humors for
which the fnger-joints las in gouD may
find vent"
OF the 50 aged people, "a only had no
teeth, the average number of teeth re-
being 4 or 5. Long hours of
sleep were notable among these old leo-

hours; while out-of-door exercise in
plenty and early rising arc to be noted
lmong the factors of prolonged life.
One of the centenarians "drank to excess
